<p>I&#8217;m sure you haven&#8217;t missed the fact that 2022 is almost over. We continue moving right on through the last quarter of the year. Think about it, there&#8217;s only about two-and-some-change months left. With that, let&#8217;s talk about how you can end the year on a high note, regardless of how it&#8217;s gone thus far.</p>

<p>I’m writing to you, whoever you are, because I don’t want you to lie to yourself if you know you’ve often talked more, dreamed more, even daydreamed more than you’ve been willing to work or act. I also, however, don’t want you to get distracted right back into inactivity by guilt and shame if you’ve already realized you do. </p>

My podcast has undergone a rebrand! The Queens’ Corner is THE podcast for unapologetic Christian women. A space where we can chat about all things Kingdom women related; brought to you by Growing God's Queens: www.growinggodsqueens.org . I’d been just feeling a rebrand and a freshness to all that I’ve been doing stewing deep within me for awhile now. You know that feeling?? When you know it’s time to switch things up for the better? It’s that feeling that comes when you know

<p>What you focus on grows&#8211;but I mean really. Where you choose to put your attention is an incredibly valuable decision that I think we too much of the time let be decided subconsciously or on autopilot for us and for our lives. The unfortunate part is that the end result of navigating life this way [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I remember realizing that despite my growth in so many areas I was still dimming my light to a significant extent. I rationalized ways I was doing it to myself so well that the hiss of fear in the foundation of my behavior was drowned out by my ability to lie to myself about this [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Your ability to be vulnerable enough to be honest with yourself about yourself is a huge strength and not a weakness! What is the real reason &#8216;this&#8217; hasn&#8217;t been working? That what you&#8217;ve been saying you&#8217;re going to do still hasn&#8217;t gotten done? That you still tolerate what you said you wouldn&#8217;t? That you find [&hellip;]</p>

<p>“Even when it gets hard, God has a plan for your life that cannot fail&#8230;” Happy Friday everyone. Today’s post will be a little different. I want to share with you an excerpt from a email in which I shared some of my testimony. This is kind of irregular for me, but I feel led [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I like to define an affirmation as a phrase or sentence that you say or a truth you decree that is self, life, or circumstance affirming to bring you closer into what it is that you are believing, seeking, hoping for, or desiring. Using affirmations can be like a faith exercise/builder and a tool to [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I was SO not into mindfulness for a while for a couple of reasons. One, I knew there was some fishy stuff to it that don&#8217;t line up with my Christian beliefs. Two, I honestly felt like it was boring and too inconsequential for me to be spending time on when my mental health needs [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Many of us, just like you, had no idea that 2020 was going to bring with it all that it has. So many are still grappling with the surprise of it all let alone the confusion, financial upsets, anxiousness, turmoil, and even depression. So, if you&#8217;ve been struggling to get a hold of things or [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Why do you do what you do? What (or who) are you really doing what you&#8217;re doing for? What drives and compels you in your everyday life? What drives and compels you when you think about your future? What is the true, foundational motive of your heart… Earlier in this month the Lord really drew [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Acceptance can be described as favorable reception&#8230;the act of assenting (saying yes) or believing (Dictionary.com). As much as I tried to get around it, I have learned that radically accepting BOTH who we are (the real us, our new identity in Christ) and what God’s will is for our lives is not only crucially important—it’s [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Man, I was creating a social media post, and I just realized like I used to be a MESS. A complete mess. The depression was so severe—it was just off the chain. The anxiety was debilitating. I had no peace. I had no stability. My mind was a war zone. I detested how fragile I [&hellip;]</p>

<p>It&#8217;s easy to live your life pretending like you’re unaware of Gods standard and His desire for you to rise to the occasion, His perfect will today&#8211;even NOW. I say pretending, because God is always pursuing us. He&#8217;s always reaching out to us, warning us, drawing us. God is faithful and just: He&#8217;s not gonna [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I teach stuck believers how to progress to the next level, so they can be released into purpose. * Wait!!! Are you growing spiritually? Take this quick questionnaire to see where you are in your spiritual development.* It&#8217;s time for God&#8217;s Queens to arise. It&#8217;s time for us to invest in our&nbsp;health, relationships, and lives [&hellip;]</p>

Recently, I received the kind of news that would’ve made the old me depressed, anxious, and a bit resentful at God. Bad news will do that to you. What was interesting was that I handled a harsh blow with peace. All I could think about was that it had to have been God. I was intrigued at what had to have been growth I didn’t even realize I’d made. I was so grateful, though. Growing in God has so many benefits, and I was literally experiencing one of them. As I grow more and mo

<p>Stop taking life laying down!!
Understand who you are as a child of God!! Your problems are already defeated, BUT until you war with what is warring with you, you will not see your victory manifested.</p>

<p>&#8220;I began to see that it wasn&#8217;t that I had nothing of value&#8230;it was that I was no longer happy with the &#8216;regular&#8217; &#8230;If the enemy can get you distracted with discontentment and impatience for the &#8216;next level&#8217;, then he can get you ungrateful, unappreciative, and idle&#8230;&#8221;</p>

There is a story in you. A mess from your message, a testimony waiting to set this world on fire. You see the world needs your light, your perspective your love. Don’t hide behind the prison of shyness, of the addiction that is needing approval from others. Don’t hide behind thoughts of “maybe I’m not good enough” or “I don’t know what to say”. The world needs you, we need everything you have to say. How you made it through, how you struggled, how you held on when you wanted
